Adrian Marie Blount or GodXXX Noirphiles (they/them) is a California born - non binary, loving single parent, multidisciplinary / Time-based media artist. Their work explores the alien, the other and environmentalism through afrofuturism and drag through painting, music, sculpture, movement and performance.

Workshop:
Black Joy through parallel play

Parallel play is an often underrated space of joy. The joy of existing next to someone while they enjoy their chosen favorite activity while you enjoy your joyful activity of choice can be a liberatory pratice. It describes being together while both pursue their own activities (e.g., one reads, the other works on a laptop), which is perceived as appreciative and relaxing.

It fosters connection without the need for constant conversation. this workshop will have two activities of live painting together and poetry writing intertangeably where the painting will inform the writing or vice versa

Community Haircut Gathering✂️

The idea is simple: creating a space to share skills with the community, by the community, for the community.

Getting a haircut isn’t always easy.
Maybe you don’t have time.
Maybe it’s too expensive.
Maybe your hair needs a special touch.
Or maybe… any other reason.

💛 So here’s an invitation:
Come, let’s cut hair together.

Where: LesMigras
When: 28.05
Time: 16:00–19:00
Who: You, all of us

This is an open invitation for FLINTA* community members to come together and share skills.
Bring your tools:scissors, razors, clippers..whatever you have.
We welcome all hair types: kinky, coily, curly, wavy, and straight.

There’s no teacher here, we learn from each other. ✂️
And of course, we take care of the space together and clean up afterward.
If this resonates with you, we’d love to see you there 💫 ...

Tarot for Healing & Liberation is a three-part series on connecting and working with tarot as a tool for collective healing & liberation through personal spiritual practice. We will locate the ways that tarot, in connection with other spiritual modalities, (plant)-cestral connection, and divine communion can support the reclamation of our relationships with our bodies, spirits, and autonomy.

Over the course of the three workshops, we will first deepen in our understanding of the major arcana, then the minor arcana, and finally practice using this understanding as a foundation for ancestral & divine channeling. All levels are welcome, and participants are invited to bring their own decks along if they have them.

We’ll explore how relating with/through tarot can bring us closer to ourselves, our power, and the wisdom and truths we contain. And what it can help us draw from other realms to inform and nourish our collective movements for the liberation of all beings.

@louisebrisante (she/her) writes in her free time about political issues that are primarily related to her African migration history and her experience as a dark-skinned Black person. Her activism consists mainly of bringing racialized communities together to learn from each other, engage in dialogue, and give space to feelings of anger.

workshop: whydarkskinmatters

The interactive empowerment workshop examines the photo series “why darkskin matters” and the refocusing on darker-skinned Black, African, and Afro-diasporic people. Dark(er) skin is not positioned as a deficit, but rather understood as the source of Blackness. Interactive workshop means that we will not only deal with workshop themes on a theoretical level, but also work with our bodies, moving, feeling, and understanding them.

At the end, we’ll get creative! So feel free to bring (recent) photos of yourselves. There will be an opportunity to be photographed for the whydarkskinmatters photo series after the workshop. Participation in the photo shoot is completely voluntary. The workshop is exclusively for queer and trans* darkskin Black, African, and Afro-diasporic people. ...
